Sidney Photobook

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
Elliott Erwitt

About the Book

Sidney by the Sea - if there is a town that beckons you with a Siren song home, this is it. Stroll the waterfront enjoying the picturesqe scenes of nearby islands against the majestic backdrop of Mt. Baker. Inhale fresh ocean air at the fishing pier. Walk along Beacon Avenue, with its specialty stores, art galleries, restaurants and coffee shops, down to the iconic Sidney Pier Fish market.

Of course, there is much more to Sidney than the town itself. As the heart of the Saanich Peninsula, it will become your base for exploring the many parks, bays, beaches, farms and wineries that dot the landscape. Quiet lakes, inviting forests, rolling hills, roadside fruit stands and farmers' markets, as well as famous attractions like Butchart Gardens, Butterfly Gardens or Ocean Discovery Centre will make even the longest vacation seem much too short.

Photographers will find endless opportunities to click time and time again – be it wildlife, landscapes, flowers or man-made gardens that you like to photograph, Saanich Peninsula will not disappoint you. Being a collection of images from Sidney and the Peninsula, this photobook is but a small sample of what awaits you, no matter what season you visit. Come and unwind from the hustle and bustle of life.

Whether you shoot with modern DSLR or a pocket camera, you will find yourself clicking non-stop when cruising all over the Peninsula and its attractions. Hopefully the photographs in this book will inspire your creative vision.

Photos in the book include Sidney, Butchart Gardens, Butterfly Gardens, Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, Sidney Pier Hotel and other places favored by both locals and guests.
